Abstract

A job description can best be thought of as a blue print of the position. It outlines the essential duties and responsibilities that are expected of the employee and the basic purpose of the work the employee is expected to perform. It also defines account ability in an organisation, which helps to prevent overlap of duties and assigns task responsibility.
